intrinsics

Thus, we must not waste our time on the "intrinsics" -- ephemera such as policy, truthfulness, consistency, message, thoughtfulness.

Marc Kusnetz: Ephronology 2008

Since tropes do not change they avoid the well-known problem for edurantists of temporary intrinsics.

Causal Processes Dowe, Phil 2007

One metaphysical problem concerns how change is possible (this has recently become known as the ˜problem of temporary intrinsics™).

Temporal Parts Hawley, Katherine 2004

Suggested Reading: It's a good idea to start with Lewis (1986a, pp. 203-4), who coins the phrase ˜problem of temporary intrinsics ', argues that none of the endurance theories of change are satisfactory, and sets out the perdurance account of change.

Temporal Parts Hawley, Katherine 2004

The drive convention is supported in all ANIX intrinsics, and extrinsics can use it by calling the routine PARSENAM (which also does all checking for valid ProDOS naming etc).

SOFTDOCS: ANIX v2.2a by Randall Hyde (Operating System) 1987

When the Dauntless burst out of free-travel into inert, and matched intrinsics with the planetoid, Kinnison had been ready to jump into action.

The Dragon Lensman Kyle, David, 1919- 1981

She flashed toward the derelict, matched intrinsics at a safe distance, and began scanning, only to encounter a spy-ray block around the whole vessel!

Children of the Lens Smith, E. E. 1954

She shot downward, going inert and matching intrinsics at a lack of altitude which would have been suicidal for any ordinary pilot.

Children of the Lens Smith, E. E. 1954

The intrinsics of those two were at least of the same order of magnitude, since both had come from the same galaxy.

Gray Lensman Smith, E. E. 1950

So the enthusiasm you're hearing is very much around that set of intrinsics, which we think are quite strong.
